Updated Ranch on 12+ Acres Near Bethel Woods: $485K

There’s no denying that cooler temps are just around the corner. What better way to spend a crisp evening than gathering around a firepit, or inside near a fireplace? This week, Upstater’s doing just that.
Today’s pick is in Sullivan County’s Swan Lake. It’s an updated ranch on 12-plus acres near Bethel Woods. The firepit is just to the side of the front steps.

The front door opens to a formal living room with dark hardwood flooring and oversized windows. That red-and-white birdhouse is an adorable reminder of the home’s proximity to the original Woodstock site.

See? It’s Max Yasgur’s barn, in miniature.
The dining room is just off the living room, too.

The main floor is nicely laid out in an open-concept format.

A family room with a fireplace snuggles in next to the dining area.

The kitchen has oak cabinets and black quartz countertops, with a smallish center island and sliders out to the wraparound deck.

The primary bedroom is located near the living room, and has the same dark hardwood flooring. The double doors to the right of the bed…

…lead to an exquisite primary ensuite bath. Brown tile in the oversized shower complement both the floor tile and the counter on the dual-vessel-sink vanity.

A second bedroom has a black floor and yellow walls.

The third bedroom has dark hardwood on the floor and cobalt-blue walls.

The hall bath is simply decorated with pale walls, white fixtures, and tan tile in the tub/shower.

Head downstairs to a finished basement with a rec room, a home-gym area…

…and a second family room with a brick-faced gas fireplace. Check out the online 3D walkthrough for more.

With 12-plus acres on which to play, there’s plenty of room to spread out beyond the beautiful, wraparound deck.
The property is just three miles from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, and just a tad over two miles to dining on Kauneonga Lake at The Local Table & Tap.
